In these situations, it is good to know which FF chains may be worth trying. <br><br>For that information, I welcome reasonable posts about these kind of places. I may be one of the few, but I won't go into a tizzy because a FF post appears. <br><br>Thanks for the tip about IHOP, as I would not have thought of that as a place to try a burger. I like the provolone cheese being used. If I have an opportunity to pick my (burger) cheese, it is usually either provolone or a good cheddar, with some bacon coming along for the ride with the cheddar version.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m167603.ashxFindPost/167616Wed, 09 Nov 2005 19:11:56 GMTRE: IHOP Monster Burger (mayor al)Because I am too lazy to move it right now... it will shift later tonight when I feel more like pushing all the buttons<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/wink.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/wink.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[;)]" />" /><img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/wink.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/wink.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[;)]" />" /><br><br>Welcome to the Roadfood site!<br> Al-The Mayor[|)]http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m167603.ashxFindPost/167615Wed, 09 Nov 2005 18:55:42 GMTRE: IHOP Monster Burger (Z66 Butch)<blockquote id='quote'><font size='1' face='Arial, Helvetica' id='quote'>quote:<div style='border: 1px #999999 solid; background-color: #DCDCDC; padding: 4px;'><i>Originally posted by dreamzpainter</i><br><br /><blockquote id='quote'><font size='1' face='Arial, Helvetica' id='quote'>quote:<div style='border: 1px #999999 solid; background-color: #DCDCDC; padding: 4px;'><i>Originally posted by Lexi</i><br><br />Hey Butch,<br><br>Please go back and read the definition of Roadfood.

IHOP does in fact call it the Monster Cheeseburger. They do have several other burgers and patty melts. The Monster Cheeseburger is 2 thick patties smothered in American and Provolone cheeses with lettuce, tomatoes and mayo on a grilled Romano-Parmesan bun. It puts the Hardee's burgers to shame IMHO.<br><br>By the way, why is this post still here, I gave permission to move it to the chain food forum..............<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[:D]" />" /><br><br>Butchhttp://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m167603.ashxFindPost/167614Wed, 09 Nov 2005 18:33:41 GMTRE: IHOP Monster Burger (dreamzpainter)<blockquote id='quote'><font size='1' face='Arial, Helvetica' id='quote'>quote:<div style='border: 1px #999999 solid; background-color: #DCDCDC; padding: 4px;'><i>Originally posted by Lexi</i><br><br />Hey Butch,<br><br>Please go back and read the definition of Roadfood.

I am somewhat of a burger gourmet, I do not like chicken or most things with chicken in it. When we go to lunch I usually order a burger and fries. I like the Applebees burgers and have tried burgers at most chains and several local restaurants.<br><br>So a few months ago we were visiting our daughter near Cookeville, Tennessee and had the chance to take our 16 year old granddaughter out for lunch. She wanted to go to IHOP because she loves their chicken strips. I spotted the monster cheeseburger on the menu and knew that I had to try it. I will just say this: It is the BEST cheeseburger I have ever had! Yes I have had Max & Erma's and some of the others that claim to be the best but this burger tops them all IMHO!<br><br>There were two very large patties and two kinds of cheese. The tomatoes, pickles onions and mayo were on the side and I never put them on the burger. I was one of the largest burgers I have ever ate but the taste of the beef was what made it. We have stopped a couple of times at other IHOPS and I have tried the burgers there, they are all that good!<br><br>Sounds strange doesn't it? A great burger at a pancake house. Try it and see if you agree that it is one of the BEST burgers out there!http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m167603.ashxFindPost/167603Tue, 08 Nov 2005 23:48:57 GMT
